Overview

The book explores the right to nature as a new landscape culture through examples, reflections, and projects designed by AG&P greenscape. In dialogue with other architects and committees – among others, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, BIG Bjarke Ingels Group, Stefano Boeri Architetti, Credite Agricole, Fondazione Riccardo Catella – the book underlines the importance of a shared quality of the daily urban landscape as a key quality of our contemporary cities. The Right to Nature is a new chapter of reflection and work of the AG&P greenscape, centered on the current and renewed relationship between man and nature. Through out seven main topics – Sociality/Collectivity, Infrastructure, Inhabit, Work/Welfare, Regeneration, Care, Heritage – the book explores contemporary urban landscape issues at the different scales of the project, in the light of the relationship between human beings and nature.
